A guéridon supported by three sculpted columns with lion's feet and, at the top, with caryatids to support the under-belt. The female figures are standing, dressed in the Egyptian style: they wear a low-cut dress that leaves the chest exposed, cinched at the waist with a belt; they wear bracelets and necklaces, while their hair is styled in the Egyptian fashion, with braids falling distinctly over their shoulders. These figures are partially ebonised to represent skin, while the clothing and details are gilded. The feet are connected by a concave triangular platform. The circular top is made of alabaster, framed in a cherry wood veneer.
